The location was great, quiet and off the beaten path, but close enough to walk all over Carmel. The staff was awesome. Our only issues, other than the high price, was the bed seemed old, bouncy and uncomfortable and the free continental breakfast, ( you can choose different options)which was brought to the room in a cute basket, was lacking and minimal.

Cute hotel. Beautiful garden courtyard area, breakfast delivery to your room, easy to park and in a good location. Texting with staff for questions etc was also a great option for quick easy questions. Spacious rooms with a fireplace and jetted tub. Furnishings and carpet feel a bit dated but character of the place made up for it.

A comfort stay!

The rooms were clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. I wish we had some auxiliary lighting in the room- but that did not impact our experience here. I enjoyed their breakfast choices. Zen!

Nice place - no view

Nice spot a couple blocks uphill from Ocean with a comfy Zen vibe. Rooms nicely appointed most with balconies but not all with views. We looked at the roof next door - our only disappointment. The people upstairs were noisy. Get a room on the top floor with a view!

Fabulous Stay at Tradewinds Carmel.

Lovely room (room 19) with stunning view. We found this hotel to be spotlessly clean with very friendly staff. The condition of the property was like new. Overall the Tradewinds exceeded our expectations. Would stay again in Room 19.

The hotel doesn't advertise they do not have air conditioning. While they had fans and a screen door to the balcony, the problem was early morning noise from an employee or guest playing loud music from their car right below my balcony and the garbage truck was not pleasant. I did enjoy the breakfast in a basket at the door everyday and the views as well but would not stay here again.

Fun, relaxing place!

Loved everything about this place. We felt spoiled by the breakfast basket brought to our door in the AM, and relaxed by the decor of the room and grounds, and the view from our balcony. Loved the softness of the sheets, and comfortable bed. Walkablility was great. Lots of amazing restaurants within easy walking distance, yet plenty of parking for the hotel. Also was glad we could charge our Tesla right at our hotel.

Lovely Stay

Lovely one night stay with my husband. This hotel is nicely situated. Quiet but still walking distance to shopping, restaurants and the beach. EV charging was also a big plus! Our room was very clean, comfortable and cozy. Decorations were tasteful. Loved the small fountain in our entry way + balcony and fireplace. The bed and pillows were a little soft for our liking. The breakfast basket was so cute. We appreciate little touches like that, including the chocolate chip cookies upon check in. Our biggest complaint would be the WI-FI speed. Super duper slow! Otherwise a really nice stay. We would consider returning for sure!
